Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 90 Just don’t poison my food in the future!

Four people walked out of the bushes. They were all short in stature, wearing grass skirts barefoot, and their bodies were covered with vivid indigo tattoos.

While Qin Mo and Lu Zhi were sizing them up, they were also sizing them up, with awe in their eyes and piety on their faces.

Yes, reverence and piety!

thump--

The short and stocky young man at the head suddenly led his three companions to crawl on the ground, his face even more pious: "Thank you gods for saving me!"

Qin Mo: "..."

Lu Pheasant: "..."

The two of them looked at each other in confusion, and then they couldn't laugh or cry.

Not to mention, compared with these four guys who look like savages, Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant really look like gods.

Qin Mo is dressed in a bright silver armor that is ahead of his time, and he is wielding a sword and a bow with majesty. Lu Fei is dressed in a red dress from the Chu people. She is a mature and beautiful lady who cannot be loved. The two of them stand together and complement each other, making people look at them.

Inexplicably shocking.

In this wild and uncivilized land, he is simply more divine than an immortal!

It can even be said that the gods and fairies in the Yue people's fantasy are not necessarily like these two!

Squeak——

Qin Mo gently loosened the bow string and handed it to Lu Zhi's help. He held the sword in one hand and walked towards the four people. He supported them with the other hand and said: "I am not a god..."

The four of them trembled and crawled back, as if they were afraid of dirtying Qin Mo's hands.

Qin Mo smacked his lips and was really speechless. He had no choice but to straighten his face and shouted solemnly: "Get up!"

The four people's bodies trembled again, and they stood up carefully, raising their heads to look up at Qin Mo, who was in solemn silence.

The tallest among them is a full head shorter than Qin Mo...

"I'm not a god, you guys don't need to be like this." Qin Mo put away his solemn words and explained with a smile.

The four of them looked at the big geese in the water, and then at Qin Mo who couldn't help laughing, but they looked disappointed and sad.

It seems that he finds it difficult to accept the fact that he is not a god!

They had seen Qin Mo's miraculous arrow skills just now, which was one of the reasons why they regarded Qin Mo and Lu Fei as gods...

Now that Qin Mo says that he is not a god, it probably makes them look stupid!

Qin Mo looked at the hunting bows in their hands and said with a smile: "I didn't know that you guys were hunting here, so I rashly fired arrows to scare away the prey. I'm really ashamed."

"The dead geese in the water will be given to you!"

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. They knelt down at Qin Mo's feet again, as if they were hugging his shoes and kissing him.

Qin Mo was speechless. He reached out and picked them up one by one. He pointed at the big goose in the water and said, "If you want to thank me, go help me catch the undead goose."

The four of them nodded in unison, jumped into the water without saying a word, and worked together to catch the wild geese.

They seemed to be very good at water. They were like dragons in the water, and within a few moments they had fished all the geese ashore.

They kept the dead geese for themselves, while the live geese were tied together with straw ropes and handed over respectfully to Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant.

"Thank you. Goodbye."

Qin Mo thanked them, clasped his hands and said goodbye to the four of them, and then he and Lu Pheasant disappeared into the dense forest quickly.

The short and stocky young man in the lead opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing how fast they were running, he had no choice but to give up.

The four people turned their attention to the dead geese, using bronze daggers to cut open the dead geese one by one, and examine the digestive organs and crops inside the dead geese.

"There are beads, hahaha, there are big beads!"

The stocky young man dug out a round pearl the size of a table tennis ball from the dead goose's crop, laughing and shouting excitedly.

His three companions were overjoyed when they saw it, and they all speeded up their movements. After the goose was dissected, they all harvested pearls the size of grapes!

"They must be gods. They heard the shaman's prayer and came to save us..."

The short and stocky young man looked in the direction where Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant disappeared and spoke firmly.

The three companions nodded again and again and bowed to the ground in the direction where the two disappeared.

The short and stocky young man said anxiously: "Hurry up and follow the gods. I will return to the village quickly and tell the witch chief the good news about meeting the gods!"

The three companions got up from the ground, but they were a little frightened when they heard this: "Kun, the gods have already saved us, why do you still follow us? Aren't you afraid of being discovered and blamed by the gods?"

Kun, a short and stocky young man, paused for a moment, then pondered for a moment and then said: "Then let's go back to the village together and let the shaman decide whether to come back to look for the gods."

"good……"

…

…

At the same time, Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant were taking a detour in the dense forest. After making sure that the four Yue people had not followed, they returned to the beach.

I picked some coconuts on the way and brought them back. Firstly, they can quench everyone's thirst. Secondly, the coconut juice balances electrolytes, diuretics and reduces swelling, which probably has some detoxification effect.

When the two returned to the beach where the raft landed, it was already dusk. Zhang Liang and others had already lit a bonfire and were drying their clothes and belongings.

Qin Mo threw coconuts to them, then cut off the necks of the big geese he brought back to draw out the blood, and fed them to the unconscious people.

Perhaps goose blood can really detoxify, or perhaps they were stimulated by the stench of goose blood. After the comatose people drank goose blood, they gradually woke up.

Zhang Liang and others were overjoyed and hurriedly fed them coconut juice.

Qin Mo and Lu Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief and began to wash and skin the goose, preparing to roast it and eat it.

They haven't eaten anything since they woke up.

Everyone also lavaged their stomachs repeatedly and vomited all the big buns they had eaten.

In addition to the previous hard work to get ashore, everyone was already exhausted and hungry!

"Oh, there are actually pearls?"

Qin Mo dug out a pearl from the belly of a big goose and said dumbly.

At this time, Lu Pheasant next to him was also surprised and said: "This one also has pearls in its belly. It is really beautiful and round."

Seeing that she liked it, Qin Mo handed the pearl in his hand over and said, "I'll give you this one too. I'll make it into a pair of earrings later."

Lu Pheasant had been spending time with him. Although he had known that he was open-minded, but now he saw him handing over precious pearls to him, but he still couldn't help being flattered: "You can't do this for a prince, the daughter of the people is not worthy of such a treasure..."

"Take it if you want."

Qin Mo forced the pearl into her hand and said half-jokingly: "Just don't poison my food in the future!"

Lu Pheasant was both happy and embarrassed, and kept the two pearls close to her body.

Qin Mo was very lucky, and then he got several pearls in succession from the bellies of other big geese.

However, he did not give the newly acquired pearls to Lu Zhi. Instead, he wrapped them in a piece of silk handkerchief, stuffed them into his armor, and kept them away.

Lu Pheasant saw it from the side, especially looking at the silk handkerchief a few more times.

The silk handkerchief is embroidered with dragon, phoenix and tiger patterns, which are the most highly regarded patterns by the Chu people. The embroidery skills are agile and meticulous. There are also two Chu characters embroidered in the insect script on the corner of the silk handkerchief: Yu Ji!

Lu Pheasant could understand that even if people like Qin Mo were honest and self-reliant, they would inevitably have beauties around them.

But what should be said should not be said. Seeing that Qin Mo cherished a woman's silk handkerchief so much and even wrapped a few newly acquired pearls in it to keep it close to her body, her good mood disappeared in an instant.

The look in Qin Mo's eyes gradually turned angry. The spirit of the shrew who cut her love rival into a pigeon seemed to be showing signs of awakening!

Qin Mo was roasting a big goose when he noticed Lu Fei's angry look and gave her a strange look.

"Ahh~!!!"

Qin Mo was about to say something when a shrill scream suddenly came from the dense forest not far away.

Choking——

Qin Mo pulled out his big iron sword to be on guard, and at the same time said to Zhang Liang and others: "Your weapons are all under the raft."

Zhang Liang and the swordsmen did not dare to neglect, and immediately worked together to overturn the raft and use the weapons tied underneath.

Qin Mo had already counted everyone, but not one was missing.

Therefore, there are Yue people in the dense forest!

"There are Yue people living here. Lu Xiaoniang and I have met some of them before, equipped with bronze swords and bows and arrows. Brothers, be careful."

Qin Mo ordered everyone and rushed towards the dense forest.

Zhang Liang and the swordsmen hurriedly dismantled the raft and used wooden planks as protection. Kui and the three retainers of Hengyang Lord who were not poisoned each took a wooden plank as a shield and followed Qin Mo's footsteps.

These wild swordsmen, who pride themselves on being brave and fearless of death, began to learn to use shields after seeing the power of shields in Qin Mo's hands!

…

Qin Mo ran as fast as flying, and within a few breaths he had reached the dense forest area where screams could be heard.

At this time, the screaming person was still wailing faintly, and there were also noisy and panicked voices. It seemed that there were quite a few people who were treating the injured person.

Qin Mo was protected by armor. When he saw a group of panicked Yue people from a distance, he immediately stuck his big iron sword on the ground in front of him, picked up his bow and arrow and said sternly: "Why are they following you? Are you looking for death!"

All the Yue people were shocked and turned to look at Qin Mo. Then they all huffed and fell to the ground.

Four of them were the guys we met at the water source earlier!

The short and stocky young man at the head prayed in a trembling voice: "God, don't blame me. The witch chief just wants to offer a sacrifice. Thank you for saving our people."

As he spoke, he pointed to an old man whose feet were pierced by wooden thorns and was lying on the ground whining.

The old man was short and thin. He was wearing a large blue indigo linen robe and shoes made of animal skins. There was also a gleaming golden tiger-head scepter beside him. The shape was crude and very eye-catching.

Qin Mo's expression softened slightly, he gently loosened the bow string, pulled out the big iron sword on the ground, and walked in front of a group of prostrate Yue people.

"God, don't come near, the ground around here is covered with sharp wooden thorns..."

Click——

The short and stocky young man wanted to dissuade Qin Mo from approaching, but before he could say anything, Qin Mo had already stepped on a wooden thorn hidden under a dead leaf and broke it.

The Yue people looked at it in astonishment, but their faces became more pious, almost burying their heads in the soil.

Facing the invulnerable gods, shouldn't we be more pious?

The skinny old man whose feet were pierced saw such a miracle and stopped wailing. He picked up the golden tiger-headed scepter beside him, climbed up to Qin Mo and raised his hands in the air: "Please accept the sacrifice from my clan!"

Qin Mo did not receive the scepter. He was not invulnerable, but he had combat boots made by students from the Baiyong Institute of Technology. The soles were lined with riveted iron sheets.

Wood thorns are naturally difficult to pierce!

He picked up the broken wooden thorn and looked at it. The tip of the wooden thorn had been stepped on and bald. It was not difficult to see that it must have been newly cut not long ago, no more than two hours at most.

Because the sticks used to make the spikes are not dry, and the bark can still produce juice when pinched!

Qin Mo swept away the dead leaves nearby and found several wooden thorns to examine. The more he looked at them, the darker his face became.

Tap tap tap——

At this time, footsteps came from behind. It was Kui and three retainers of Lord Hengyang who finally arrived.

When the four of them saw the wooden thorn in Qin Mo's hand, they couldn't help but grinned and said: "Your Majesty..."

"Hmph~!"

Qin Mo snorted coldly, left the wooden thorn on the ground, and cursed: "I'm a coward. I'll settle the score with you later!"

Most of the dense wooden thorns nearby were made and set up by Zhang Liang and other swordsmen while Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant were hunting.

They probably wanted to counter Qin Mo. After all, once their feet were pierced and they lost the flexibility to move around, no matter how brave they were, they would be greatly reduced, and they would only have the fate of being suppressed by everyone.

But they didn't expect that when Qin Mo and Lu Zhi returned to the beach, in order to avoid being tracked by the Yue people, they made a large circle and returned to the beach. The wooden thorns scattered all over were of no use at all.

However, these Yue people who were looking for Qin Mo were unlucky enough to step on a wooden thorn...

"Go kill them and appease the anger of the gods!"

The skinny old man holding the tiger-headed golden staff saw Qin Mo yelling coldly at the four Kui people. Although he didn't understand it, he understood its meaning, so he shouted to the Yue people behind him.

All the Yue people stood up one after another, those with swords drew their swords, and those without swords raised stone spears and spears, instantly surrounding the four of them.

Kui and the three retainers of Lord Hengyang were frightened and hurriedly covered themselves with wooden boards back to back.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly, reached out to take the tiger-headed golden staff held high by the old man, and waved it: "They are all my companions, don't kill them rashly."

The Yue people were very obedient and immediately lowered their swords and calmed down their evil spirits.

The four of them looked at each other in astonishment. They were surprised that Qin Mo could speak the Yue language, but they also really didn't understand why Qin Mo could order these barbaric Yue people?

Could it be that while everyone was floating on the sea, the Qin Dynasty had conquered this place and included it in its territory?

Or is it that Qin Mo's reputation for bravery and virtue has spread to this wild land?

…

Qin Mo's level of confusion was actually not much worse than theirs. He really didn't understand why these Yue people thought he was a god.

Even if we are as beautiful as Yanzu and as strong as Arnold, we don’t have to worship him so much, right?

Qin Mo looked down at the thin old man who was still crawling in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Are you a witch?"

"yes."

The skinny old man answered respectfully.

Qin Mo nodded, but ignored him. He turned to the short and stocky Yue man he had seen before, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Why do you say I saved you?"

The short, stocky young man had a simple and honest face, and he answered truthfully: "The King of Panyu wanted to enshrine hundreds of large beads in the village, but the tribesmen in the village went to the sea to collect them for a year, but they only got more than 90 large beads."

"Now that the summer has passed, the King of Panyu will send an envoy to collect the pearls. If the village cannot enshrine the large number of pearls, the entire village will be massacred."

"The day before yesterday, the chief shaman performed a divination and said that a god would come to save us, and today it really came true."

"The gods used magical archery skills to shoot swans and give them to us so that we can take advantage of them. Isn't this salvation?"

Qin Mo suddenly realized it and turned to look at the skinny witch chief, feeling secretly contemptuous in his heart.

There are no ghosts and gods in the world. The more people pretend to be gods and ghosts, the less they believe in them.

This guy deceived the whole family, saying that God would save him, but he might have made plans to escape in private.

Now that his nonsense happened to come true, he used the golden scepter to seal Qin Mo's mouth. In the future, his status among the clan will definitely be higher.

Even if the news spreads, the king of the ancient Panyu Kingdom will appreciate him and recruit him to his side!
